As we talked about the Rebound effect in the last session, we thought it would be a good idea to read a recent paper on it.- Gillingham, K., Kotchen, M. J., Rapson, D. S., & Wagner, G. (2013). Energy policy: The rebound effect is overplayed. Nature, 493(7433), 475–6. doi:10.1038/493475a http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v493/n7433/full/493475a.html
